Meet Greta!
Greta was rescued from a hoarding situation that involved 66 dogs. She had almost no social skills with humans when she was rescued. To top it off, Greta was pregnant when she was rescued. CRT volunteers helped Greta raise her five puppies. She is about 2 years old and weighs in at around 15 pounds. She looks to be part Chihuahua and part miniature Doberman.
Greta is a bundle of energy. She is very fast and really loves to run. So, a big yard is preferable. Because of her lack of social skills, Greta will be a flight risk until she gets to know her new owner well. She once got away from her foster dad but luckily she returned in a little over an hour mainly because she had not had her morning meal yet (it can also be said that Greta loves to eat! She will try to eat anything within reach just like it’s her last meal).
Greta likes to play with other dogs. She still keeps her distance from her human caretakers and has not shown any interest in her two pre-teen foster sisters. However, it is interesting to point out that Greta likes to sleep right in between her Foster Dad and Foster Mom’s heads. So, there appears to be hope that Greta may one day be a good snuggle buddy.
Greta’s Foster Dad gets her up and out to potty first thing in the morning. Then, it’s off for a morning walk which brings her great excitement. Greta is still learning how to be house-trained but she does use a pee pad in the house when she is not taken out in a timely manner. She is also used to staying in a kennel.
Greta does not tolerate the Purina Pro Plan kibbles that her foster sisters eat. Her foster Mom and Dad feed her a special diet that consists of boneless chicken thighs, spinach, carrots, apples, and supplements.
Greta is up to date on all her shots and is fully vetted and ready to be adopted. She is heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm prevention. She is spayed and microchipped.
Greta’s adoption donation is $300.
